It was the first pull on the controller (vs gate spring) and I wanted everything to be past-safe in case it over shot target (or worse). It was in the six hundreds (at right around 12.8psi) but the timing was wayyy low.... a solid 6-8 degrees below what we'd run at that point if the fueling were good and we knew the boost were in check. I didn't bother to push the car any harder or try adding in some timing, the injectors were done. The converter may need a little tightening as well when the boost goes up. We will see how it acts.

Justin has a very solid running car and should be proud of the work that he has done. I don't even get to actually tune turbo-swaps on their first or second trip 4 out 5 times; it's a nice exception.

Well new injectors came and got installed. The base fuel pressure got backed down from 68ish down to 43ish to get the short term fuel trims back in check while it was ideling.
Got rid of the dinky 14 gauge fuel pump power feed and Ran a 10 gauge wire.
I started wiring up the new gauge cluster and hopefuly getting the dash back in for good.
The hole for the exhaust is cut, just got to reroute the pipe.
I got some torque box renforcements that ill install be for racing season along with a couple other things needed to get it to cert.

gauge cluster, stage 1, 2, and 3

Their 15x10.2 I think a 6.5 bs. They stick out a tad. The rear will get narowed a tad in a few weeks.
275/60/15 micky thompson drag radials.
I had hoosier 275s on it and their a tad wider.

It looked good with the black draglites, but wow did the look change with the rims.

I'm hoping to get retuned on full boost very soon.
"Cough steve" and finaly show the world that it runs close to what it should. And enjoy driving and racing it.
